A rare offering to the market, this fabulous former school conversion was built in 1859 and subsequently sympathetically converted into two highly individual and characterful homes. Boasting an array of character and high-quality fittings, the property is centrally located to Barrow upon Soar's village centre. The property comprises an entrance hall, large central inner hall, contemporary breakfast room/kitchen, impressive dining room and large lounge with open fire and there is a ground floor shower room. The main staircase leads to a landing with study area, main bedroom, two single bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the single bedrooms is currently used as a dressing room with fitted storage units, some of the storage units could be removed easily to reinstate the room as a bedroom. A second staircase from the entrance hall leads directly from the inner hall to a guest bedroom, which works nicely with the ground floor shower room at the base of the stairs. Outside is a low maintenance garden to the front, driveway, double garage, rear garden store and a completely private and fully enclosed rear garden with lawn and decking veranda. The property is beautifully presented and has ready to move into accommodation and an early viewing is highly recommended.
